Suicide Prevention Resource: Training for faculty & staff

This is an e-mail from 10/23/13 sent from University Health Services (UHS) about the new suicide prevention resource on campus.

At-Risk for University and College Faculty and Staff, an online, interactive educational program that builds skills in interacting effectively with students in distress.

At-Risk will remain available online and can be revisited any number of times.
We invite each of you to complete this 45-minute training designed to help you:
1. Recognize students experiencing high levels of distress
2. Respond to students and determine the need for referral
3. Refer the student to campus or local resources and services available
Building capacity to respond to students in a helpful way is an evidence-based strategy that is an important part of a multi-faceted suicide prevention approach.

At-Risk teaches these valuable skills and provides learners with campus and local resources that are important to have accessible.
